Vulpecula, from the Dumbbell Nebula to Brocchi's Cluster
My goal with framing this shot was to include the Dumbbell Nebula (tiny, but bright, on the left), the asterism Brocchi's Cluster (lower right, AKA Coathanger) and some of the well-defined dark nebulae in the region (upper right). Emission nebulae are also fairly prominent near the center.
Acquisition details: Fujifilm X-T10, Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC @ f2.0, ISO 1600, 50 x 60 sec, tracking with iOptron SkyTracker Pro, stacking with DeepSkyStacker, editing with Astro Pixel Processor and GIMP, taken July 23, 2020 from Bortle 3/4 skies.
